"All that glitters is not gold" is an #aphorism stating that not everything that looks precious or true turns out to be so. While early expressions of the idea are known from at least the 12th–13th century, the current saying is derived from a 16th-century line by #WilliamShakespeare, "All that #glisters is not gold" and, firstly, from the proverbs written by #JohnFlorio on his #SecondFruits (1591).

Hope is your anvil:
supportive on your collapse, but
restrictive on your advancement.

Seems like a good day to make a quiche.

Got lots of eggs just now and it seems like a good idea to crack while the eggs are plentiful. Is that an aphorism/adage? Maybe not.
